 Family or adult game - loud and sillyNov 28, 2010
By ark76

The best part of this game is that it takes 1 minute to explain and 3-8 people can play with no teams needed. Participants can easily come in and out of the game without messing it up for everyone. It is the ideal party game or family game night game when you want something loud and silly and easy without learning a whole new complex system.
I remembered playing this game when I was a child with my family and bought for my children who began playing successfully at age 8. It is most fun with at least 4 people. It is a hoot with 8, but bring out the aspirin as it will get loud. There aren't too many games that adults, teens and children can play together without being too simple or complex for some. This transcends all age groups and keeps everyone entertained. I can't say enough good about it and think it should be a staple in everyone's game closet.
The deck of cards has 8 sets of commodities, 9 cards for each (like suits). You will shuffle the deck with a commodity for each player (4 players, 4 commodities...) reserving the rest and deal out all the cards, giving everyone a mixed hand. The simple goal is to be the first person to trade your cards to end up with a hand of just one type of commodity. To trade, you call out what you want and trade with other players. Since different commodities have different point values, you keep score based on the value of commodity that you acquired, beginning a new round after each successful "win". You can set whatever point value you want to make the game last as long as you want.

Such a fun game for the familyMar 08, 2010
By C.W. Knits
We owned the older version of this game--the one with the corn, barley, oats, etch--so we were a little disappointed to see they changed it to silver, gold, etc. At least they include cocoa in the commodities. :-) Anyway, it's still just as fun as ever. Our family has such a rollicking time playing it that I think we scared the neighbors. Fun for everyone without any fuss, just a deck of cards.

Loud!Apr 09, 2010
By Horacio Perez
Lots of fun. If you like loud crazy games this is it. Make sure you don't have any small kids or toddlers around. We made that mistake and it freaked them out because of how loud we got playing the game. You might get horse the next day. Kids and adults will like it. Good game for Thanksgiving or family reunions. Buy it.

Pit is FANTASTICNov 27, 2008
By .
Although the premise of the game seems a little odd, trading commodities, it is an amazingly fun game that is played at every holiday in my family and is an extremely entertaining game for all ages. This is my all time favorite game to play especialy in large groups.
